If your Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express application was denied, the best thing you can do is call the Amex Blue Cash Everyday reconsideration line at (800) 567-1083. The Amex Blue Cash Everyday reconsideration line is a way for denied applicants to request a second review of their application and potentially get the denial overturned.
Here’s what you should do if your Amex Blue Cash Everyday application is denied:
- Determine the specific reason for the denial. American Express sends a letter to affected applicants citing why the application was denied. Common reasons an application could be denied include a low credit score, an insufficient annual income, number of open credit accounts, and more. Incomplete or inaccurate information on the application will also lead to a denial.
- Call the reconsideration line. If you think your denied application warrants a second look, you can contact Amex and ask for a reconsideration at (800) 567-1083. Be prepared to offer proof that the denial was based on inaccurate or outdated information, or that your financial situation has improved since you applied.
- Consider other options. You could apply for a card that’s easier to get than Amex Blue Cash Everyday or sign on to someone else’s credit card account as an authorized user.
Ultimately, you can simply work on remedying the issue(s) that resulted in the denied application in the first place and apply for the Amex Blue Cash Everyday again. It is recommended to wait at least 30 days before submitting a second application, but most improvements will take longer than that anyway.
